Chapter 710: A Bit Urgent

Cloud Mountain, within the estate

Lin Jiang was having a meal with Small Shadiao, busy with various matters. It had been a long time since Lin Jiang had eaten with Small Shadiao. Upon learning about the commotion at Cloud Mountain, Lin Jiang specifically came to dine with Small Shadiao.

Like a family gathering, besides Small Shadiao, Big Shadiao, Lin Ying, and Cao Ying were all present. Everyone close to them gathered together. At this moment, Lin Jiang was very content.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Jiang went out for a stroll with Cao Ying.

"Why don’t you say something to Small Shadiao?"

Cao Ying finally couldn’t resist and told Lin Jiang that she didn’t think it suited his personality.

"What are you saying, that his choice was wrong?"

"Of course, Small Shadiao even abandoned his family for you."

"Aren’t we his family too?"

"Well…"

Cao Ying couldn’t answer right away, but it didn’t seem wrong to say that.

For Small Shadiao, his biological sister that he had lived with for hundreds of years, the brother he had endured hardships with for thousands of years, should be even closer family.

"Small Shadiao wasn’t very happy living among the demon clan, I know this. Otherwise, during the era of cultivating immortality, he wouldn’t have kept going to the human territory. When he was captured by Yang Luo and endured a hundred years of torture without revealing my whereabouts, I have always remembered this favor. Now that he has chosen me, I will naturally not let him down. Instead of saying more, it’s better to do more."

"This is the rule for judging people: instead of listening to what they say, it’s better to watch what they do."

"That’s about right, having this brother, I’m lucky."

"I envy you."

Cao Ying said, she also had good senior brothers and master, but they have passed away and she can’t see them anymore.

"There’s nothing to envy, what’s mine is yours, we are family."

"Haha, that’s true. But if a Demon Emperor appears in the demon race, it will put a lot of pressure on us. We don’t have anyone at the peak of Void Achieving. If Lin Wanli breaks through to become a Demon Emperor, the demon race will surely retaliate, and it will be difficult for us to stop them."

"This is indeed a problem, it’s a bit threatening."

Lin Jiang nodded, if Lin Wanli breaks through to the seventh rank , it’s a threat to the current human race.

"It’s a bit threatening, do you have any ace up your sleeve?"

"My trump card is these billions of people, they have wisdom, ability, and confidence."

"Listening to a wise saying is like listening to a precious treasure."

Cao Ying rolled her eyes, aren’t these all just nonsense?

Lin Jiang smiled, this is not nonsense, over the past century of spiritual energy recovery, Huaxia has accumulated many talents, not only in spiritual practice, but also in technology. Many technologies require accumulation, which has been a process of accumulation before, but now breakthroughs are imminent.

"Sir, Muse has run away."

Wu Li walked up to Lin Jiang and said. The incident with Small Shadiao at Cloud Mountain, they quickly found out about it and tried to catch Muse, but he still managed to escape.

"Can this kid run so fast?"

"Yes, but they caught one of his subordinates and uncovered a lead hidden in Huaxia."

"The woman named Su Jin"

"Regular people, they are being used, not valuable, already taken care of"

"Continue to capture Muse, it seems his next target is my precious medicinal herbs"

"Sir, no way, Spiritual Herb Garden guarded so well, with his weak power, how could he infiltrate"

Wu Li said, he knows about Spiritual Herb Garden’s defenses, various technologies are used, including formations, and Lin Ying is always there.

"Not my Spiritual Herb Garden, it’s other organizations’ Spiritual Herb Gardens, keep an eye on that, don’t give him a chance"

Lin Jiang said, Cloud Mountain is a large medicinal herb base, apart from his personal Spiritual Herb Garden, some cultivation academies also have Spiritual Herb Gardens there, their medicinal herbs may not be as rare as his, but there are many treasures, nobody knows if they might be useful to Lin Wanli.

"Sir, I will definitely catch him"

Wu Li said, his father, and his father’s master and the generations before controlled the dark side of this world, but by his generation, that control power faded, which made him feel frustrated.

So, this time, he needs to prove himself and catch Muse. This is his chance.

Lin Jiang nodded. He didn’t blame Wu Li for being incompetent. Things are different now. There are many experts and talents. It’s impossible to have complete control. Don’t underestimate everyone in the world.

Fangzhang Continent, Demon God Temple

Lin Fanghua listened to her mother’s complaints with a frown. Her mother found out about her contact with Small Shadiao, which made Rufu very sad.

She thought it was her fault that Small Shadiao didn’t come back. When she was in a deep sleep years ago, Rufu excluded Small Shadiao’s other wives, as well as Small Shadiao’s other children. Only she and Small Shadiao slept together. She wanted to possess Small Shadiao.

Although Small Shadiao didn’t say much about this matter, she felt that Small Shadiao must hold a grudge.

"Don’t cry."

Lin Fanghua finally couldn’t hold back and scolded Rufu, who then stopped crying.

"Humans claim to be sentimental, but in fact, they are the most heartless, not to mention the demon tribe. The demon tribe originated from the beast clan’s cultivation. Look at those beast clans, how many of them care about their families? Husbands and wives should stick together through thick and thin, but if he doesn’t want to come back, then let him be. The demon tribe doesn’t need him as a fifth-tier Demon King."

Lin Fanghua said coldly, "Family, morals, these are things that only humans care about. It’s because the monsters have interacted with humans too much that they have these things. Monsters have always valued their community."

Now Lin Fanghua has also come to terms with it. Her father has completed his mission in her family, fulfilling the duty of multiplying their community. If he doesn’t want to come back, then he shouldn’t.

"Fanghua, he is your father."

"What father? He would rather go to the human territory than come back. What kind of father is that? His best friend is the biggest enemy of our monster clan. If our clan loses, will he come forward to protect us? Does he have that power?"

"Fanghua…"

"Don’t say anymore. Consider that man dead. If you want to remarry, I will help you find the divine beast clan. The new generation of monsters has grown up, and there are many divine beasts. If you don’t want to remarry, then focus on your spiritual cultivation."

Lin Fanghua thought this matter was very troublesome. She didn’t want to deal with it at all. The monster clan was good the way it was, why make it like the human clan? It’s just a joke.

Lin Fanghua led her mother away and arrived at a corner of Demon God Temple, where Lin Wanli was in seclusion. Lin Wanli was at the late stage of the sixth rank before he fell asleep, but had a stroke of bad luck when he woke up and got badly injured in a fight with humans. It took many years for him to recover. Then, Lin Fanghua took care of him and gave him many treasures, helping him reach the peak of the sixth rank.

"Fanghua, dad doesn’t want to come back, right?"

"Yes, he became a traitor to the demon tribe."

"Ahh, I knew it would be like this a long time ago. During the cultivation world war, he intentionally got injured and left in defeat. His relationship with Uncle…"

"Where did Uncle come from?"

"Ahem, you’re right, there is no Uncle."

"Brother, don’t worry, I will help you break through to the seventh rank."

Lin Fanghua said that she had already sent people to search everywhere for top-grade spiritual medicine, hoping there might be a chance.

The recovery of spiritual energy comes in bursts. When it recovers once, the age of the spiritual medicine increases rapidly, attracting a large number of demon tribes. This speeds up their advancement, making them faster in progress than the human tribes.

However, this early recovery has depleted the quantity of spiritual medicines in the demon territory. Now that the spiritual energy has fully recovered, the spiritual medicines need to grow throughout the years. It is now up to luck to search everywhere, there may be some missing, it happens.

"If there are no spiritual medicines, even with hundreds of years, I can still break through."

Lin Wanli said that for both human and demon tribes, fundamentally breaking through levels doesn’t require any external forces, only a long period of time and a low probability.

"I don’t have hundreds of years for you to break through. The human tribe’s technological weapons are becoming more and more powerful. There are already things that can hurt me. In a few hundred years, we might have been wiped out long ago. I still have a long way to go to break through the Disaster Crossing Period. You must break through the seventh rank as soon as possible, and then follow me to annihilate the human tribe."

Lin Fanghua mentioned that in the war a few years ago, she was wounded by space-based weapons. Afterwards, in order to take revenge, she went back into space. Although she won, the human tribe quickly recovered. She knew that in terms of depletion, it was difficult to surpass the human tribe.

"Sister, have you ever thought about summoning Feng Jiu back?"

"Do you think I haven’t tried? It failed."

"Failed?"

"Yes, in my third year on Fangzhang Continent, I secretly tried, but failed."

Lin Fanghua said she hadn’t told anyone about this, because if the demons found out that the Demon Emperor wouldn’t come back, there might be big trouble.
